About to rewire a Tele and considering this for a tone cap. Easy enough to see how it sounds but curious what type it is beforehand.
thanks!

Thanks 
Should have mentioned these came in an old box of '60s-'70s parts from the UK.
Maybe I'll cut one open for fun.

Polyester? Decent tone cap? I'm one of the few who don't care for paper in oil as I find they tend to rob some low end even with the volume on 10. Again, I'll give it a shot, just curious as to the type.
thanks
